Steps​

Install and open “Button remapper (no root)” app. Here is an important thing to note: the free version only allows you to create two actions. If you need to create more actions, then you need a premium version.

In the app, we need to create actions to disable all the capacitive buttons. For this instance, I’m using a device which has three capacitive buttons (Back, Home, and Recent Apps). You need to choose the button depending on your device and need.
